Description

This OER provides teaching and learning material in technologies applied to sustainability and resilience system design solutions, in particular, electronics prototypes involving sensors and actuators.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This resource is primarily for lecturers, course developers, instructional designers, and tutors/demonstrators to help teach electronic circuit and system design, applied to climate change problems. The benefits of the resource are to draw together in this context , giving students basic skills that can be used with sensors to detect environmental variations and actuate mitigation devices. The step-by-step guide will enable educators to develop modules and teaching plans incorporating these themes.
